The Worst of Britain: Nick Lowles of Hope Not Hate

"Hi! I'm an
anti-fascist. Are you white and working-class? Then you're probably a
racist bigot and an Islamophobe. Shame on you!... All ye people repent
and join Hope Not Hate. Only that act will dissolve all the guilt you should have
for being white and middle-class like me. The working-class, of
course, are now beyond redemption. Although I admit that I did patronise
them until the Muslims came along."

According to Nick Lowles, the
EDL is a massive threat. And that’s why he once gave the Government a good
telling off for its lax and soft attitude towards ‘racists’ and ‘fascists’.
Lowles says that the EDL ‘poses one of the greatest threats to social and
community cohesion at the moment’. And if that’s true, then why oh why is ‘the
Government a mere spectator, hoping, no, praying, that police can contain
trouble’? This is strange. Aren’t Islamism, militant Islam and many other
things Islamic even a teeny weenie bit of a threat to Community Cohesion? Isn’t
the ghettoisation of Muslims by Muslims themselves also a threat to Embraced
Diversity?

So it is strange that Nick
Lowles has precisely nothing to say about these real threats to Community
Cohesion and Diversity. Who am I kidding? This is not strange at all. Lowles’s
championship of Muslim separatism is part of his campaign against Englishness.
You know, racism, fascism, imperialism, whiteism, non-leftism and all the other
things he hates about the English and England.

As I said earlier, because Nick
Lowles is a Communist (the difference between Trots and Commies doesn’t make a
difference to anyone except Trots and Commies), the EDL is not the only object
of his leftist displeasure. Yes, the Government is at fault too. The ‘present
Governments have shown absolutely no leadership in their attitude towards the
EDL’. Is that a roundabout way of saying that Cameron and Clegg haven’t sat in
the Cabinet office discussing the Problem of the EDL with His Supremeness, Nick
Lowles? Is it also a euphemism for the Government not kicking the EDL’s arse by
banning it? Or is it about the Government not imprisoning enough (!)EDL leaders
in much-needed gulags for ‘fascists’, ‘racists’, ‘Islamophobes’ and all other
non-leftists (except Muslims and perhaps black people)?

The problem is, apparently, that
the Government and others ‘play down the EDL threat’. Nick Lowles, UAF/SWP et
al don’t of course play up the threat of the EDL, do they? Of course they do!
These people live and breathe anti-racism and anti-fascism. It gives meaning to
their lives. It focuses the Struggle. It radicalises. It furthers the
Revolution. It provides new student recruits. But most importantly of all, for
Nick Lowles, it provides a good career and a steady and secure income. And who
would begrudge poor Nick Lowles a job? Not only that. Lowles, or one of his
mates, has proved beyond any shadow of a leftist doubt that Tommy Robinson has
‘far-right links’. And no one would ever accuse Trotskyist/Communist
organisations of lying or distorting things in order to further the Cause or to
defeat an evil enemy like the EDL.

The Labour Party, on the whole, isn't a Marxist or a communist party. However, there are very many cross-currents and interactions between the Labour Party and the Trotskyist/communist Left, mainly on the periphery but also deeper within.

As for the Fabian Society, it isn't a “revolutionary" (as in violent revolution) organisation but it is still, nonetheless, uniquely dangerous and elitist. Its approach to "radically changing society" is very similar to that taken by the followers of the Italian communist, Antonio Gramsci.
